callmedeb Posted February 20, 2013 #151 Share Posted February 20, 2013 LORENE! Just Read (and caught up with) this thread. OMG! Bright-side? - You have an impecable sense of style and I'm sure you will find replacements for what you packed. - You are in the Caribbean, wear less clothes. That said - I sincerely hope that the bag catches up and that the weather and the waves are perfect from here on out. Cheers, Deb <-- who wishes she was on a HAL ship with no luggage right now.

Rare 1of4 Posted February 20, 2013 #152 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Plus HAL sells luggage tags that you can tuck/fold a copy of your itinerary in behind the identity info. Bought them off the website last time we went to Alaska. They have the Holland America logo on them, so hopefully airline folks will see it is a cruise person and look for info inside the tag, eliminating the need to go inside your bag. This is the best reason I have seen to purchase the HAL luggage tags. Up to now I thought "why bother"? But now I know and I thank you. I have always been careful to copy my travel plans and place a copy in each bag (in a plastic sleve no less) with all contact info and addresses. I have been doing this for years for land based travel. Now I will get the HAL cruise tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy2x Posted February 20, 2013 #153 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, you do owe me an apology for falsely accusing me of criticising her! :mad: I wouldn't hold my breath.

nana51 Posted February 20, 2013 #154 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I agree. Way too much snarkiness on these forums lately. I'm blaming it on the long cold winter and we are getting "cabin fever". Don't worry spring will come and we will all be happier....I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iriemon Posted February 20, 2013 #157 Share Posted February 20, 2013 There was a thread here a little while ago about a nude cruise on the NA - maybe that is the way to go :eek: then you wouldn't have to worry about your luggage! LOL :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted February 20, 2013 #158 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Lets just all wish Lorene the best and that her luggage catches up with her today! Absolutely! Let's be sending some positive vibes her way:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
startwin Posted February 20, 2013 #159 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yes, you do owe me an apology for falsely accusing me of criticising her! :mad: I read it as being critical, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. However, it is hard to convey the true feeling in the written word so we often have to think twice before hitting "submit". There were several ways you could have worded it that wouldn't have sounded critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa Girl Posted February 20, 2013 #163 Share Posted February 20, 2013 You were not. :D Agreed. It was a simple question. Reading more into it becomes personal. And that was with apologies to Sapper1, whose posts I usually admire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realnurse2 Posted February 20, 2013 #167 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think several of you need to be less concerned about the size of the font one posts with and how many explanation points they may use . People have different ways of expressing themselves and you have to assume that a simple question is just that and no harm is intended. Maybe its time for another HAL cruise, hmm ?

world~citizen Posted February 21, 2013 #168 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Not you---the lemmings, silly. :D Actually, lemmings don't do what they appeared to do in the Disney movie.

Kathie859 Posted February 21, 2013 #172 Share Posted February 21, 2013 As a "newbie" to this forum, I have to say that the amount of snarky posts astound me. I choose to chalk it up to those posters having a direct writing style and not really thinking about how their posts "sound". I feel this is a tough crowd to join, frankly. From those who have been on these boards for years and have come to know other posters (and their sex, their style, their daily itineraries) I say give it a rest! This post in not directed at any one specific incident or post, but an accumulative judgement based on my readings here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I believe most of the posters do, indeed, think about how their posts sound. Those who don't either apologize or edit the post if they still have time, once they realize they were harsh, snarky or offensive. I don't see that happen too often, but it is a breath of fresh air when it does happen. Thank you, Kathie. EXACTLY the way I feel when on this board.
